Hey Zakk! It has been a while hasn't it? Still up and producing that Red Lable project you had going back in the day?
I'll check out your space as soon as I get home. I do have MSN, but to be honest, I rarely go on it anymore.
Thanks for the review, and dropping by! I'm glad you liked it ^^.
Great, man.
I already posted this review on one of your pieces, but I can't find which one it was, so I doubt you can either, so I'll post it here. XP
"10s across the board. It's got that kind of gentle savagery. It sounds like the kind of lulaby the devil would listen to, beautiful, yet creepy in a great way. I listened through a few of your pieces and thought maybe I'd give you a few tips, since you're into the whole rage thing.
A few great ways to add "Rage".
1. Crescendos. I see you already have made a few pieces with crescendos, I'm still learning. I'm assuming you know what a cresceno is, pm me if you don't. I'll explain. Some great ways to boost the crescendos are with strings, which are probably going to be the most prominent instruments during that point. Having a section of Violin 2s outlining chords, a section of tremolo Violins outlining the same (or different, just make sure they don't cause dissonance, even if there's not much ability to hear dissonance during a crescendo.) Try putting the Violin 1 section on melody, backed up with clarinet doing 3rds (these are just ideas, you'll probably develop your own way, but this is mine) and flute and piccolo doing 5ths and 7ths. Have French Horns (tune in here, I love this technique) and drums battle each other in a way, with the bass drum on the beat (1, 3) and the French Horns playing staccato chords on the off beats (2, 4). Have trumpet do a light reflection of the melody, and let a synth bass and tuba double each other, and let the trombone triple that an octave up. The piano should be playing the melody, except with a twist. Add ornamentation. Also, tubular bells can be thrown in here and there. Remember, these are just suggestions, not set in stone, experiment with them a little. Please give a listen to "Last Moments" on my page, reviews would be nice."
Also, just to add, Cymbal crashes at the end of sections are a great way to send shivers down a listener's spine.
Any questions about the vocab in there, just ask.
MaestroRage responds:
I understood everything you said, and I must admit, these are some excellent suggestions! I have yet to try any of these, and I will definitely do so tonight!
Battle the percussion eh, that sounds like my cup of tea >:}
A review well appreciated MJTTOMB, thank you for your insight, I have yet to actually use woodwinds in my Crescendos... odd when you think about it.
In any case, thank you once more for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Just perfect
This is a reminder of what i have to do in life. What im about to do in this life will reflect what happens in the next. It reminds me of the sacrifice others made for us to be here and what sacrifices we have to make. This is the most perfect piece I have heard in a while. Ill be listening to this on my way to Parris Island, SC Sunday night as I prepare myself to become one of the nations finest, a United States Marine.
Semper Fidelis-Always Faithful, even at the end.
At war's end...
This is a very powerful piece that to me symbolizes the end of great and terribe wars throughout man's history. I know that my country is currently facing and still dealing with a terrible war right now. But know this; every war has it's end. Those that have been through war find many things through such a piece of history. Some find religion, other's a sense purpose. Some find rage, while others still find a sense of peace, ironic as it may sound. Every war has it's end...shhh. Can you hear the village bell calling it's soldier's home?
dude i just...
feel so moved by this piece... a story began 2 form in my mind as soon as the music started
4 worn travellers finally reach the end of a dusty dirt road and they see what looks 2 be a town ahead, but as they near it building suddenly burst into flame as hellspawn demons rush through the village slaughtering and pilfering at will.
The small group drew their weapons and charged into the fray knowing that they may have reached the road of lifes end.
